A story about seeing NOFX On November 26supthsup I went to the Stone Pony in New York to see another of my favorite bands NOFX NOFX is a punk-ska band Punk meaning fast paced drumbeats and quick singing and ska meaning a song played with trumpets The band members are Fat Mike vocals bass El Hefe guitar trumpet vocals Eric Melvin guitar vocals and Erik Sandin drums The one thing I found out there was that El Hefe sings a lot I thought he only sings in a few songs but when I heard them play I noticed that he sang about half of the songs NOFX music has considerable groove for a punk band and is sparked by the two lead guitarists Eric Melvin and El Hefe Tight play between the bands four members and short fast punchy songs with a laid back approach would even have non-punk fans entertained Their songs talk about racism politics social problems sex drugs lesbians bums alcohol animal freedom and many other strange subjects In their music you will find punk of course but also rock hardcore ska even reggae and jazz If you ask me they are a just a punk-ska band Their songs are interesting and different from one another Each song has its own characteristics The lyrics are very interesting sometimes strange and sometimes incomprehensible You basically just have to understand them in your own way The club was packed or more accurately stuffed After much anticipation the punk gods NOFX hit the stage and the crowd surged with excitement even before they opened the set with one of my favorite songs Reagan Sucks The next song they played was Bob They played songs from the album Flossing a Dead Horse - which is one massive trumpet solo presented by El Hefe The next song they played was Eat the Meek with trumpet and lead vocals by El Hefe The mosh
